Also on indulgence, on behalf of our side of the House I also extend to George Miller and his team congratulations on winning this Oscar. George is a Brisbane boy. It is terrific when you have got someone like that being awarded a significant award such as the Oscar, someone who has already done such films as Mad Max, Lorenzo’s Oil and Babe. This is a great outcome for George Miller. It is a great outcome, also, for the film industry, and we congratulate all those concerned with Happy Feet.
